gjconsult - I think that map is referring to the channel to the left of Saba. The main channel is to the right, southeast, between Saba and BEYC and is well marked all the way to Oil Nut Bay.

Oh, really? I thought someone said it was full bar for free. I thought way back when it was only wine and beer for free.

Thanks a lot for sharing your trip report! Overall, our sailing trip was a mixed bag. The Indians provided a less-than-stellar snorkeling experience due to poor visibility. The mooring at The Bight was convenient, but the young crew losing their sandals at Willy T was a bit of a hassle. White Bay’s spa experience was excellent, though the owner's attempt to charge for a short boat ride was a bit off-putting. Great Harbor surprised us with its charm, and the scuba diving was a highlight. Cane Garden Bay was fun, especially with the floating chair, but Brewer’s Bay fell short with damaged reefs. The Spread the Ashes ceremony was deeply moving.

The fees at SJU had a lot to do with American shutting down the Caribbean hub in SJU. American was particularly upset that SJU was charging significantly less for low cost airlines. I miss the days of 4 to 6 flights a day SJU-EIS with 64 seat aircraft plus the 120 dollar round trip airfares. Americans pull out sent air and ferry prices soaring.

And yes, we have euthanized several dogs ourselves. Hardest thing we've ever done. ....Which has ZERO to do with this discussion. We are talking about PUPPIES, who presumably have no medical issues.

This one is done.

Was there end of May, beginning of June. Secrets was closed for renovation. Doubt it will open until next season. Didn't see any sign of life at Blue Sail so that was probably closed as well. There is a Petit Casino mini-market, a sushi restaurant, a couple of clothes shops and a laundry. That's it I think.

You might consider bringing a couple of kids inflatable life vest.
Would not take up much room in luggage and more comfortable to wear.
Lots of options out there.

I can vouch for Dr. Phil. If he tells you something, you can pretty much take it to the bank.

Even though it is not mentioned in the news release, the situation would give me pause.


Sounds like that situation could give you something more than that!! smile

We are also Virgin Gorda fans and love making that our home base. We ferry around from there and or take the car barge to Tortola. ( we stay a month and rent a vehicle )

Check out this site for tons of wonderful villa options.

Following…we will be looking for flights shortly for our January trip.

Coming from East coast Canada we usually fly through Boston or NYC .

If by some fluke a flight gets reasonably priced to Miami from here we can look at that .

Such a wealth of knowledge you all are smile

Prices are reasonable. I usually go there for lunch and then continue on to Super U and Bacchus to grocery shop.


I remember the first time I used the rest room there. Based on how the rest of the restaurant looks, I was surprised at how nice it is. November soon come!

As @Jeannius stated, the system in St. Barths is different from the standard French one and does indeed allow storing the boat name to save on typing. The folks at the Capitainerie also have access to the passwords for the charter boats, so if you don't have it with you, they'll give it to you. The closest computer to the desk also sports a U.S. keyboard (QWERTY rather than AZERTY) to make life easier for the non-French.
